I already did the solution (To test the microphone, click "start" button, then "Control Panel", then "Sounds and Audio Devices". On the popup window that opens, click on the "Voice" tab, then click on the button that says "Test Hardware". After several seconds this will bring up a test program that will show a noise level meter when you're speaking into the microphone. "The default device listed under voice recording should be "Realtek HD Audio Input") to my acer aspire one notebook. But still, it's not working.

I can not used my built-in microphone, it's not functioning.

But i can use my headphone when i plugged into the adio jack of my acer aspire one notebook.

My problem is, i can not use it in outdoor or its portability. I have to bring my head set/ headphone. Too many things to bring in my case. Its not portable. I am uncomfortable with my Acer Aspire One notebook every time i bring out in outdoor area. Like Malls & Restaurant, etc.

Pls help me to fix it. I already did the solution (To test the microphone, click "start" button, then "Control Panel", then "Sounds and Audio Devices".

I have tried to record video on Acer aspire one and although the recording volume is to max., only video and not audio recording. I have also tried with an external microphone and I have the same problem. On a demo model in a hypermarket, I saw that nine other people had tried and ALL had had the same problem. Two other members of my family have tried on their Acer Aspire Ones and they have the problem too. Further, at the hypermarket, two sales assistants also tried unsuccessfully to record and couldn't resolve the problem. This looks very much like a design, construction or software fault.

Same issue. Mic not working. Checked in control panel and volume is max, with boost on, not muted. I even returned the netbook and had it replaced. Guess what...same problem. Sad, because I love this little netbook otherwise. Same issue. Mic not working. Checked in control panel and volume is max, with boost on, not muted. I even returned the netbook and had it replaced.

Open the realtek microphone tabs via control panel and activate everything even if you have no idea what effect it could have on switching on a microphone. We did and hey presto a working internal mike on our e 350 net book

hi the reason this is is because you could be playing loud music and the mic could pick it up causing a screeching sound (you probably heard this when a mic is next to a speaker) and because this is such a small unit it is inevitable you can set it not to turn the mic down but if you do it will damage your speakers as it will either screech and when it decent 80 percent of the time it still is but we cant hear it and it really damages both mic and speakers that is why it is set like this by default i also have one of these computers and it is because they are so small the mic and speakers are really close so they have it set like this to prevent damage i hope you understand my exploration OK and i hope that this has helped thanks please contact me if you require more info on your net book as i can help you with anything regarding

Go to control panel and sound devices and unmute the mic under record options. To avoid feed back use headphones or mute the mic in the play back option. Audacity is a good open source application to use to record on your PC.

You need to check the record settings and make sure the mic is not muted or turned down to low. Click START, CONTROL PANEL, then SOUND icon. Click the AUDIO tab up top. Make sure that your sound card is selected in the drop down menu under Sound Recording. Now click VOLUME tab. A new window will open up. Click OPTIONS then PROPERTIES. Make sure you have a check by the MIC and click OK. In the Recording Control window, turn the level up for Microphone and make sure it is not muted. Let me know what happens.

you need to go back into the sound settings in the mic and look for a little box that says 'Mic Boost', you need to tick this and you will find a big difference.
right click on the speaker icon in your taskbar, click open volume control, click advanced on the microphone at the end of the row and see if mic boost is ticked.
